Xenophobia in the Bahamas: Haitian Ambassador addresses Fred Mitchell
Mr. Edmond is typical of his people Many come here on Boats that are not safe. rickety.. if he does not know this he is out of touch , or a great big lie teller, The American coast guard knows so he could have saved that lie, as much as they protest about the treatment of their people and this includes the Haitian Ambassador in the Bahamas and Fred Smith they never tell those who are here illegal to go home or offer any assistance for them to do so, They want to run the Bahamas, and they can not even run Haiti. It is a simple matter Immigration need not pick you up. just leave as you came. Respect the laws of the Bahamas.

Mr.Edmond is saying that those children of reference are BAHAMIANS. That is the HAitian's theory of being born in the Bahamas. They can't think beyond that. As far as disrespect for Haitians living illegally in the BAHAMAS, Mr. Edmonds' story is all hearsay, he really does not have time for the peasants.

I assumed this gentleman had no other words in his vocabulary to degrade us; unfortunately the cap sure is hell do not fit. No, I think what he meant to say was; that he's sorry his people have 'EXPLOITED' our resources and their rights as illegals. Sorry that his people have become a 'BURDEN' to our society by having many children to a household with no regards to their illegal immigration status. Also, he cannot express his gratitude of how we've 'ENDURED' this for so long while our country is being seized by HIS countrymen. NO! I think this is what he intended to say when he decided to speak out on this immigration matter. Haitians need to humble themselves, and the ambassador and Freddy needs to take a seat! As it's well known, Haitians that have prospered in other countries speak well of their home and how beautiful it is. WELL.. my question is, what are you doing for YOUR country other than fighting to give them rights in OTHER PEOPLE'S COUNTRY????? There is a big problem here! Bahamians ain't rolling over and playing dead anymore... and they have EVERY RIGHT UNDER THE HEAVENS TO FIGHT FOR WHAT IS THEIRS, NOT HAITI'S!

I'll wear the Xenophobe label proudly! We've been Haiti's doormat for too long! To now 'shit all over us' after we've let these violations of immigration gone on for so long, is indeed a slap in the face. If the head (Haiti's Ambassador) is making such uninformed statements, and passing the buck like this, then I see why we as Bahamians cannot expect any better from the rest. :(

Cuba move may have massive economic impact, says PM
So am I, what do we (Bahamas) have to offer tourist that Cuba does not to offer them MORE of? This new U.S - Cuba relationship is great for both the Bahamas and the people of Cuba, we just need to step up our game! we've been doing it longer and better than most in the Caribbean. The world is changing right before our eyes. Countries around the world are fighting for that tourism dollar. We need to start thinking outside the box, new ways to keep the Bahamas as what it is, one of the best locations in the Caribbean if not the best, the newer generation with powerful influence and spending power and like to have a great time are "Hipsters" unfortunately or fortunately this is great for tourism destination that has safe and humane cannabis laws, regardless of our belief, we're catering to TOURIST not really Bahamians, We, (Bahamians) win because of the spending from said tourist, its a win, win situation. Do you know what will be interesting, if Cuba decides, (when it's tourism market opens) to legalize Cannabis and The Bahamas don't or have not? Another off topic, I wonder how many Bahamian throw away their Apple product (Iphone, Mac's etc) since learning that the CEO of Apple Inc is Gay? Oh, I forgot you were discussing Cuba. "People suffer because of a lack of knowledge"

This is why soo many young Bahamians either not return home or leave again once returning. Those of us with new ideas to help solve the problems are kept out of the system all because the clueless leaders (government and non government) are soo afraid of losing power!

SOOOO where was your repulsiveness when a so called Haitian threatened the lives of Bahamians on National Television with no fear .I repeat THIS IS NOT ABOUT RACISM.YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE THIS ONE.You are basing your view on a handful of comments on social media to an entire country of less than 400,000 people.TOTALLY BIASED.This entire country is made up of immigrants who have integrated into the community .WE RESPECT THOSE WHO CAME HERE LEGALLY.We work ,socialize with immigrants everyday.Some of my friends are Haitian,Jamaican,Indian etc .Those who came here LEGALLY have even had children here and have done things the right way.They contribute by paying NIB,rent homes etc..The majority of Bahamians have been nothing but kind to the Haitian people and other immigrants.We respect LEGAL not ILLEGAL peple who choose to break the law and come through the back door.People like you love to call good evil and evil good.So your comments are invalid and the laws of this land will be enforced whether you like it or not.

What genius declared racial stereotyping as "never O.K." and defined this "moral compass" you speak of?......YOU?
If xenophobia, racial stereotyping, tracking dogs and horoscope readers are whats needed to relieve our country of these dam illegal parasites then please let the xenophobia, racial stereotyping, tracking dogs and horoscope readers escalate 10 fold!
These people are destroying our country, preventing law abiding rightful citizens from obtaining jobs, health care, education, social service assistance and the cause of all kinds of misery and you standing around with your head up our ass talking stupidness!
Add a shake to your shudder and you will be right in tune with the illegals now dancing on the shoulders of tax paying, unemployed, destitute Bahamians.
No matter how you try sugar coating it illegals are parasites that must be eradicated at all cost.

The real problem is, FRED does not like Minister Mitchell and will do every kind of evil to prove it. But, That's one man's opinion. Shut up with the nonsense, FRED. PROVE your legitimate claim to BAHAMIAN CITIZENSHIP; show us the 'PAPERS' and not the PAMPERS..

There is no Xenophobia in the Bahamas we have been a nation that welcomed people for years, I think the influence that foreigners bring that goes against our constitution, beliefs and morals are what we dislike as Bahamians, (No Fear)
